Announcement: 2019 International Qiskit Camps

We here at Team Qiskit understand that both quantum computing and IBM are global communities. In fact, our very first Qiskit camp, which began in Yorktown Heights, New York, near IBM’s main quantum computing research, hosted attendees from over 19 countries!

And we want to ensure that we not only recognize our global footprint but embrace it. So we are proud to announce that we will be hosting another three Qiskit camps in the remaining months of 2019, each in a different continent!

Qiskit Camp ’19 will be accompanied by three international Qiskit camps in 2019
